       A Few Tips for In Character Interviews

       In-Character interviews are a newer policy for <The Silent>, and
       represent a chance for the officers to get to know your
       character on a personal level. Officers generally ask a a few
       general questions, and then progress to more individualized ones
       about your character’s responses, often pushing them for further
       information. Come prepared to answer a variety of questions
       about your character; meaning that your character’s backstory,
       history, and personality should be as solid and thorough as
       possible.
       Generally, two main questions are asked during the IC portion:
       what your character hopes to achieve or more generally, wants,
       from joining the Silent, and why should the Silent take them.
       The best way to think of this, is that your character is making
       a case for why they should be part of this order, and how it
       benefits both parties. Ultimately, its an argument, and should
       be treated as one. The more specific you can be about your
       character’s experience, wants, and goals, the more legitimate
       and persuasive your argument will be. Honesty may be the best
       policy here, or it might not be - the tricks making your
       character seem believable and trustworthy, even if they’re not.
       Remember when applying to the Silent to know what you’re
       applying for. The Silent is a somewhat-shady vigilante group of
       do-gooders. We have events that for the most part, involve some
       degree of combat. That’s what our overall aim and goal is ICly,
       and your character should be aware that your character needs to
       fit into that. Your character is being judged partially on how
       well they fit within this mold, or how flexibly they can be
       pushed into their role. You want to have your character put
       their best foot forward, as if it were a real interview.
       Ultimately, the best advice I can give for IC- Interviews is to
       take them seriously. Your character certainly should, if they
       want to be part of the Silent. Realize your character’s goals
       and wants, and why they would want to join the Silent, and
       understand the purpose of the Silent overall. Know your
       character. And know your audience.
